Pros

Very relaxed working environment. Low stress. Great people. Unlimited free laser hair removal. Other free treatments that are limited but offered each year. A distinct company culture with great people all throughout the company. Orientation and training is great and ensures you are a competent provider. Opportunities to travel and work in other centers.

Cons

No room for advancement as a provider. Skills are limited as different services offered are very limited. Constantly changing policies like bonus structure. More or less directionless as a company. With the change in CEO it seems that there is no longer a clear vision of where the company is headed. Very much more a retail based company versus a medical company. It's always about the bottom line. Center managers have retail background and know little about the medical side of aesthetics which again makes it seem like more of a pushy sales gig. There are bonus opportunities but they continue to make them more and more difficult to reach. Almost everyone works every Saturday. Most centers close at 7:00 pm and then you usually stay over for a half hour so there is little time for life outside of work on the days you work. Benefits are very expensive. Especially for it being such a large corporation with medical provides. No 401k match. I know my con list seems long but truly the pros of working for Ideal Image out weighed the cons for a long time. A relaxed working environment that is low stress is not easy to find as a nurse and that alone outweighs a lot of the cons of working there. Despite the negatives (every job has them) I would not hesitate to work for Ideal Image again. It is full of great people and the amount of training they provide in aesthetics to ensure competent providers is well beyond what you would find elsewhere.

We do provide a career path at Ideal Image for our Treatment Providers (Nurses) and we only promote from within with respect to our medical roles. Treatment Providers can be promoted into Trainers, Preceptors, Medical Regionals and Medical Affairs positions at our corporate office. We listened to the feedback provided to us on Glassdoor and in our own employee satisfaction surveys. We recently added Center Managers to provide a needed extra layer of management to support our center associates and guests. Having Center Managers at each location will ensure we address the employee and customer concerns in real time. Ideal Image is committed to continual improvement and being an employer of choice. Ideal Image is a retail services business so it makes sense to hire Center Managers with retail experience. Our Center Managers are supported by local medical Preceptors to address any questions or concerns from our Treatment Providers regarding the medical side of our business. Center Managers do receive training on the medical side of our business during their initial two week training.

Got to learn about the world of aesthetics. Had the opportunity to receive services as an employee.

High workload + long hours. Sometimes, there is no time to leave to use the restroom or take your lunch, depending on the manager, Commission + benefit structure constantly changing/getting worse.
